Still enjoy the premise, but not the execution. In retrospect, I think the content of the logs would better geared towards focusing on building a mystery with each instance, that is, inducing the requested items without blunt statements from the Ds, and allowing readers to piece together everything that way. You could probably even make it work without the exposition in the recovery log.

I think it's leaning too far into detailing the minutiae of how strong the anomalous compulsion is, to the detriment of the more interesting aspects of the anomaly.

In the last test log, the haiku is 5-7-6 instead of 5-7-5, is that intentional? Aside from that, I feel this SCP tells you enough to let you figure out what's going on but doesn't beat you over the head with it, which is nice. Definitely not bad for a second SCP, but the sudden murder/suicide feels a bit jarring considering the rest of the article seems fairly well thought-out, whereas it's not really suggested or explained why he would do such a thing. I might be missing something but the husband just feels like he's there to fill a role and little else. Hesitant +1.

I quite enjoy how human and sympathetic the Foundation is here. Cold not cruel is a motto that all too often writers use to justify outright cruelty, and the simple act of concern for the welfare of a couple of D-class feels refreshing because of it.

As the logs went on I had a building suspicion that Gerdinel might have some further significance. Especially by the penultimate entry where they were the only staff mentioned by name. The focus on that particular researcher's actions seemed like it was leading somewhere, and I was a bit surprised to see essentially identical behavior in the final log.

Idle musing aside, this was a nice somber piece that held my attention throughout and left me wanting to know more. A good feeling to leave on, I think.

This is a strangely barebones skip, presented in a very matter-of-fact and stilted manner. There's just something slightly off, tone-wise, about the writing, and it overall comes off dry. That said, I'm somewhat tickled a research team would make a D-Class walk two weeks to get to Denver. I'm not sure that's going to fit a lot of people's headcanons, but, well, no vote.
